PUBG Mobile 4.5 Update: What Leaks Reveal About Naruto, Spider-Man, and Ferrari Collabs
The upcoming PUBG Mobile 4.5 update is packing a dense content slate. Officially scheduled for a global rollout starting July 9, 2026, Version 4.5 brings a triple-crossover lineup featuring Naruto Shippuden, Spider-Man, and Scuderia Ferrari HP.
We have cross-referenced the latest beta leaks and community datamining to separate confirmed mechanics from speculation. Here is what you can expect.
Release Date & Phased Content Schedule
Tencent is rolling out this content wave in phases throughout July 2026, letting players adapt to the Naruto themed mode before the supercars and superhero action arrive later in the month.
Naruto Shippuden Themed Mode
The July 9 launch puts anime center stage. Classic Erangel drop zones feature themed Points of Interest (POIs) inspired by the Hidden Leaf Village, including the Hokage Rock, Ninja Academy, and Hidden Leaf Hospital.
Chakra System & Ninjutsu Abilities
Inside themed zones, players engage with a dedicated Chakra System. Finding and consuming Ichiraku Ramen scattered around the map replenishes your Chakra pool, which fuels a set of tactical ninjutsu tools:
Ninja Run & Water Walking: Boosts sprint speed and jump height. Chakra activation also allows running across water surfaces, letting you bypass bridges entirely. Squadmates can follow a player in this state to move together efficiently.
Rasengan: An area-of-effect melee attack that delivers heavy knockback, effective for clearing campers out of buildings.
Chidori: A high-speed forward dash that closes gaps instantly, ideal for aggressive pushes.
Shadow Clone Jutsu: Deploys multiple copies of your character to confuse opponents during gunfights. Note that some clones may spawn as imperfect copies that look noticeably different.
Substitution Jutsu: A passive survival mechanic. When your HP drops to critical levels, your character automatically swaps position with a log, giving you a narrow window to reposition or heal.
Flying Raijin Jutsu: Throw a Kunai to a targeted location, then teleport directly to it. This can be chained with Rasengan for a teleport-strike combo.
Reanimation Jutsu Recall
The themed revival mechanic for Version 4.5. Instead of standard recall towers, players deploy three devices on the ground to bring eliminated teammates back into the match. This removes the need to visit fixed recall points, adding flexibility to squad recovery.
Kurama (Nine-Tails) PVE Boss Fight
The map features a dedicated Nine-Tails boss encounter in marked zones. Kurama hits hard — its attacks can wipe squads in one strike — but successful teams earn high-tier loot. The battle area is visually distinct, with darkened skies, red clouds, and a full moon effect.
Confirmed Character Outfits
According to third-party sources including Lootbar and Techx.pk, the confirmed character roster includes:
Naruto Uzumaki (Six Paths Mode)
Sasuke Uchiha
Kakashi Hatake
Sakura Haruno
Hinata Hyuga
Gaara
Jiraiya
Tsunade
Madara Uchiha
Models are described by leakers as high-detail adaptations that closely follow the anime's art direction.
Ferrari & Spider-Man: Mid-to-Late July
Scuderia Ferrari HP (Mid-July): Four real-world models arrive as vehicle skins — Roma, Purosangue, LaFerrari, and SF90. Each comes with custom engine audio and dedicated Elimination Broadcasts in the kill feed.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31): Launching alongside the North American theatrical premiere, the web-slinger returns to Erangel. Confirmed additions include Web-Shooters for vertical traversal and Web Grenades that slow enemy pushes. This content drop closes out the 4.5 content calendar.
Bottom Line
PUBG Mobile 4.5 layers thematic PVE content, high-mobility ninjutsu, and three concurrent IP collaborations into a single patch cycle. The Naruto mode's Chakra economy and ability-based combat reward squad coordination, while the Ferrari and Spider-Man drops provide cosmetic and mobility variety later in the month.
